Is God My Genie?

How many times do we tell God what we want? I do
it every day. I want God to be like my own personal genie. I pray “Please, God,
do this, help me here, grant this wish, protect my family, heal our illness,
give us this and that” and I go on and on.

I really need to change this and
start praying “What are you doing, God? How can I help You?”

If I look around and watch what’s happening in my
life I will find plenty of things that I can do. God is always at work. Instead
of expecting God to fuss with my life I need to join God and find a way to help
Him with whatever He is already doing.

I need to remember to:

Do
things God’s way.

Be
His servant.

Yield
to His will.

Stop
telling God what to do in my life and join Him in His work around my life.

My Home - Big Pine Lodge

I love all styles of houses, but my dream was to design and build a full log home. This is it and living here is like being on vacation all year.
Our most common visitors are deer, raccoons, and lots of chipmunks. Once in a while we see a fox, turkey, coyote or porcupine and have even seen a wolf print. The bears have stayed away, so far.
Uninvited guests include mice, bats, flying squirrels (one sat on the back of the loveseat and watched a little TV with us) and a porcupine (almost).
